JOE RUDE RUN OVER BY DRUNKEN MOTORISTS
STRUCK WHILE CHANGING TIRE WEST OF TOWN
Was on Way to Worthing After Daughter-Reckless Motorists Fail to StopOn Saturday evening a fatality caused from reckless driving filled our community with horror, when it was learned that Mr. Joe Rude, one of Canton’s businessmen, had been struck down while changing attire two miles west of this city. His assailant is unknown, further than that he as so much of a brute that he failed to stop to inquire as to the extent of the injuries which he had inflicted.
Mr. Rude, after closing up his business Saturday evening, was busy about town until about 11:45, after which he went to his home to inquire as to whether or not he should go to Worthing after his daughter, Opal, who was attending the dance there. It was 11:55 when he left the house, and when two miles west of town he got out of the car to see if he had any flat tires. The left front tire was flat, so Joe jacked up the car, and was flat, so he jacked up the car, and was just about ready to lift off the tire when a car coming from the west, presumably from the dance at Worthing, struck him with such force as to throw him against the back fender of his car, the impact tearing away the fender from the body of the car, breaking and smashing his left ribs, and injuring him internally, beside badly bruising him about the face and body.
The driver of the car failed to stop, but sped on, probably in the hope of clearing himself of a charge of wanton murder, in the public opinion. It was only a short time until several cars had stopped and Mr. Rude was placed into one and brought into town. It was immediately discovered that his injuries were most serious, and an ambulance was called from Sioux Falls to take him to McKennan Hospital. Dr. Turner bund up his side as best he could, and between 5 and 5:30 they reached the hospital. Nothing could be done, only to keep him as quiet as possible until the end came Monday afternoon at 2:30. He was conscious from the time he was picked up until an hour before he died, and he told folks who the accident occurred and where. When told that he had been fatally injured, he stated that he was all right and would be about as ever in a short time.
Joe Rude was born at Volga, S.D. March 22, 1886 and died at Sioux Falls, McKennan Hospital on Monday April 12, 1926 at the age of 40 years and 21 days. He was married to Sarah Austin in Hetland on June 11, 1908. To them were born four children, three of whom survive. They moved to Canton in 1916 Mr. Rude purchasing the pool hall formerly owned by Grover Clark and which he has since operated.
Besides his wife and three children Diona (Dione) (Mrs. Fr. Knowlton, Opal and Dale, he leaves his father, five brothers, EW (Edmund) of Long Beach;- Otis, Norman and Rudolph of Rhinelander Wis., and James of Castlewood, S. D. and one sister (Agnes Osbon) also of Castlewood, S.D. besides may other relatives and friends.
Funeral Services will be held Friday afternoon, short services at the A. R. Anderson Apartments in the Rude apartment house at 1:30, and from the Lutheran church at 2 o’clock Rev. Nervig officiating. Interment will be made in Forest Hill Cemetery.
